Live Posted 2023/07/13 at 5:58 AM by DiscordianKitty

Dawn of the Infinite FinaleChromie: We did it! Our future is secured!
Iridikron: Tell me, little one, have you ever questioned why the Titans preserve this timeline?
Chromie: The Titans safeguard our world from monsters like you!
Iridikron: Your faith means nothing to them. As you burn in the flames of my brother's wrath, they will not come. All they wanted was our world. With this, the Harbinger will pry it from their grasp. And when the Titans come to reclaim their prize, I will be waiting.Why This Timeline?The Flames of Fyrakk's WrathDawn of the Infinite's epilogueIridikron's RelicChromie says: He's siphoning Galakrond's essence into a... vessel?
Chromie says: It looks kinda like the Dragon Soul, but even more ancient.
Iridikron yells: A hunger lost to the ages. One which I shall reclaim!A Song of the Depths

Rise, rise! Our Queen calls to us from beyond the Umbral Veil. She has transcended the Circle of Stars and basks in her eternal grandeur!

The time we have long awaited is nigh.

Even now, the Harbinger gathers the children of the first flesh to reclaim what was lost. They must remember their vows and serve those to whom they owe fealty.

While they toil in the deep places, we will journey to the shores of dragon lands, to the blessed isle where the Worldbreaker first embraced the whispers.

As one storm recedes, another rises. The torches have been lit. The secrets he buried will strike as a dagger into the hearts of his kin!

The Harbinger speaks of a primal power that seeks the end of Order. Such rage can be bent to serve our ends.

A hunger lost to the ages will be reclaimed.

A dark heart left broken awaits the taking.

When these things come to pass, the Harbinger will fulfill the final prophecy and complete the awakening.

Only then shall our Queen return to reign over sea and sky and earth. We must make ready.

Rise, rise! Soon all that was hidden will be revealed.Galakrond's HungerThe Harbinger - Xal'atath?LegionXal'atath, Blade of the Black EmpireBattle for AzerothAzeroth's FateThe Harbinger speaks of a primal power that seeks the end of Order. Such rage can be bent to serve our ends.

Comment by ErpelaarThey are going to awaken the Titan Azeroth as a Dark Titan, we (heroes of the horde and alliance) will have failed together with the Aspects and other guardians. This will be in the last expansion of WoW 1.0, where we will find out that the light and Titans will easily destroy Azeroth (and us with it) to prevent the Dark Titan and the Void of winning. Eventually Nozdormu will have to send us back in time (different timeline) to start over and try to prevent the awakening of Azeroth by the Void --> WoW 2.0: everything reset and a similar but not exactly the same storyline. While remaining in the corrupted timeline to give us a chance, Nozdormu (weakened from sending us back) is defeated and corrupted by the void, thus resulting in Murozond (who will then use the timelines to stop us from rewriting the future)Comment by NazamberThey are going to awaken the Titan Azeroth as a Dark Titan, we (heroes of the horde and alliance) will have failed together with the Aspects and other guardians.

Although it seems nothing of it was left over once Garrosh was defeated, I'm sure Blizzard could find a reason to make it come back.

I've always found the color schemes of the shas (reminiscent of Y'Shaarj) to be quite close to the infinite dragonflight ones, hence the potential link between them. That would put Xal'Atath as the Harbinger of Y'Shaarj, doing everything it can to rebirth him, and for example infusing the rests of its heart with Galakrond's essence could be a way to do it.

That said I don't see what Iridikron has to gain from all this...Comment by TaniverWhoever at blizzard is allowing this angle of writing into the lore really and I mean REALLY need to understand wows story only ever has been good when it is black and white, every single time they want to turn characters into this grey blob and they ruin them, remember BFA? Remember what happened last time they tried to do this? thats right sylvanas and every single character she touched got ruined, tyrande, malfurion, jaina, saurfang, anduin and the list goes on, like wtf does he mean the titans wont come? like no *!@# we know they're sitting up there guarding and imprisoning Sargeras, how about the dozens of titan disciples on earth doing nothing? oh we wont talk about them because thats just because blizzard cant wrtie for %^&* and just have all these super powerful demigods guarding empty raids and temples like ulduar and we all know this just ending with another old god showing up from beyond the void or however it works now and us stopping them and with a boat load of character ruining garbarge between now and thenComment by BonkyI hope it has something to do with Yogg-saron, because he is well... literally right next to galakrond and is the main reason galakrond became so big.
If they for some reason turn this into "oh its Y'shaarj's!" it wouldnt make sense in the sligtest as it would be a complete different continent.
Though i cant really complain when it comes to old gods :DComment by CognateClockworkWOW lore was at its best when it was written in primary colours and the villain was always on the box art. This drip-fed mystery box nonsense is tiresome.Comment by HanatosOur dreams. Our song.Comment by ekidnaThe outline in the portal is the same one as Azshara's original form illusion in the Legion quest. Not surprising that should would use illusion magic while she heals. She had Xal's dagger, so working with her would also be unsurprising.Comment by rezzykI guess the question is, will the follow-up to this be 10.3? or 11.0? Are we done with Iridikron for this expansion? Kind of feels that way. 10.2 will be the tree and a storyline for the green dragons. We haven't had a red dragon story yet though right? Plus I assume whatever is going on with Tyr is going to wrap up this expansion. Oh right and the Aspects getting their powers back (or not).

I'm convinced icy primal lady will sacrifice herself to snuff out fire boi and prevent him from destroying the world tree so that'll be the end of those two.Comment by HydrargirosThe shadow has a night elf model, not void elf.Comment by Wanderingfoxreally? It was fine when these were ptr posts but you just ruined the ending in a live post less than 48 hours after release. Not all of us had a chance to finish the dungeon yet.Comment by dabone1337Whoever at blizzard is allowing this angle of writing into the lore really and I mean REALLY need to understand wows story only ever has been good when it is black and white, every single time they want to turn characters into this grey blob and they ruin them, remember BFA?

And I'm eager to see if Merithra can prove why she should be the new Green Dragonflight leader.Comment by Lautnera hunger that was the result of his corruption by the Old Gods
